[SOLVED]GoFlex Net not booting after creating initrd

[Walnut]

So, I was having difficulty getting my GoFlex Net to boot from my USB rootfs with any SATA drives connected. Doing some reading on these forums I came to the conclusion that I should create an initrd, but now my device does not boot at all. I am a U-boot newbie and having a heck of a time figuring out what's wrong here.

I created my initrd with the following commands:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
mkinitcpio -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
mkimage -A arm -T ramdisk -C none -n "uInitrd" -d /boot/initramfs-linux.img /boot/uInitrd
')

Here's the serial console output:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'U-Boot 2014.04.R4-1 (May 28 2014 - 22:13:46) Arch Linux ARM

On my USB flash drive I see these files under /boot:

initramfs-linux.img
uboot-goflexnet.env
uboot-goflexnet.kwb
uImage
uInitrd

Any clues here folks?

I noticed that, but uboot is a big liar. Because I was able to manually load and boot the kernel from the USB rootfs, but then it hangs without any errors. I'm going to fsck the USB rootfs and then I'll try again.

[Walnut]

An fsck of my USB rootfs revealed nothing. I did get the system booting with the failed boot attempt as seen above. Here's the additional commands I entered:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

So, what's up with the uboot startup script not finding my drive?

Looking deeper I thought I would dissect the bootcmd variable:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'bootcmd=ide reset; usb start; setenv letter 9;for type in ide usb; do for disk in 0 1; do if usb part 1;then setexpr letter 9 + 1;run load;fi;done;done;')

So, I took a look at what the output of the "usb part" command...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
GoFlexNet> usb start
(Re)start USB...
USB0: USB EHCI 1.00
scanning bus 0 for devices... 2 USB Device(s) found
scanning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found
GoFlexNet> usb dev

USB device 0: Vendor: SanDisk Rev: 1.27 Prod: Cruzer Fit

GoFlexNet> usb part

Partition Map for USB device 0 -- Partition Type: DOS

Part Start Sector Num Sectors UUID Type
1 62 15620218 00000000-01 83
GoFlexNet>
')

The output of "usb part 1" does not seem to match what the bootcmd variable is expecting to boot. Was something changed in uboot perhaps that the default env no longer works properly?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Walnut', 'o')k here's the full monty:

The problem is that I had to manually get it to boot. I'd rather not have to do that. I have changed nothing in the config I've only discovered more detail on the problem, which to me seems like changed output from "usb part".

[Walnut]

problem solved:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; usb start; setenv letter 9;for type in ide usb; do for disk in 0 1; do if ${type} part ${disk};then setexpr letter $letter + 1;run load;fi;done;done;'')

So, somehow I screwed up the bootcmd line, most likely from using " instead of ' when setting that variable. Booting again, but I still need to get my initrd solution together so uboot will boot from the USB rootfs instead of SATA when I have SATA drives installed.
